This match caused a great shock. Three people on the Hanguo team were killed. Such a serious situation has never happened in the previous matches of King of Fighters.
However, the direction of public opinion did not fall in the direction of the Strawberry Shortcake team. After all, everyone saw what the Hanguo team did during the game, especially the incident where Cai Baoqi committed suicide and took hostages. It can be said that
It was a very heinous crime. This scene was also broadcast live in front of everyone in the world, so the Han national team, with all of its members dead, also suffered huge pressure from public opinion.
Even the organizers of the event have been under a lot of pressure from public opinion. For example, those people on the Hanguo team are obviously criminals. How did they qualify for the game? And most of the audience came to watch the game, not
Those who came to see the execution should also take care of the situation on Team Strawberry Shortcake's side.
Under such pressure from public opinion, some viewers are already a little worried that this King of Fighters competition will not be held. However, what is more unexpected is that in the face of such pressure, the performance of the competition here is very mediocre.
There was even very little response, and it was obvious that the fighting competition had no intention of stopping, and the next game would continue as usual.
However, although they did not say anything publicly, privately Linton and the others received a warning from the organizer of the event. They said a lot, which simply meant that no more deaths would be allowed. Things on the Hanguo team can still be solved for the time being.
They were able to fool them, after all, they themselves were willing to commit suicide, but if something happened to other teams again, it would be really hard to explain.
"Then you hurry up and arrange a game for us against the superpower team." Linton spread his hands and said, "I already said that if we kill that Asamiya Athena as soon as possible, the two ladies in our team will be in a better mood.
Be better, otherwise I really don’t know what they will do.”
"The game process has been decided. Your next opponent is Team Nu." The organizer's contact person on the phone replied.
"Team Fury, that's going to be really bad. I don't know if they can survive." Linton said.
"If this happens again, your Strawberry Shortcake team will be disqualified from the competition." The organizer said forcefully.
"Cancel it, just cancel it." Linton said with a smile.
"What did you say?" The contact on the phone was a little angry.
"Don't you understand yet? Your competition is called the King of Fighters Competition, and you select the strongest fighters in the world, right? From the current games, who is the strongest fighter in the world, and so do the audience
It’s a bit judgmental. Whether it’s Extreme Flow, Team Hungry Wolf, or Team Gold, we’ve all been defeated by us with overwhelming strength. Now you kick us out, that’s okay. You can play it by yourself and see if the one you selected is the world.
The strongest fighter, does anyone doubt it?" Linton said.
"Are you threatening us?" the other party asked in a low voice.
"Yes, if we really want to kick us out, we can find other sponsors to hold a conference to challenge the heroes of the world. Look who else will come to watch your boring battle of weaklings. If nothing else, your side
After the championship game is over, let’s randomly send someone to kill all the champions on your side and see who the disgraced person is." Linton said calmly.
"You...you wait." The person opposite was obviously gritting his teeth in anger, but he didn't say much. Linton estimated that the person contacting him was just a messenger, and he couldn't make any decisions himself. It is estimated that now
I went to his backstage to make a report.
Linton didn't care at all about falling out with the organizer. He let them use whatever tricks they wanted. From the beginning, Linton didn't want to have a good competition. However, in order to explore the progress, Linton didn't plan to fight with them at the beginning.
The main reason why the organizers made the situation so tense was that the two girls in their team made Linton feel a little irritable.
Yes, after returning from the cold country, Yumiya Asuka and Nishikawa Maria immediately became completely autistic. Maybe they were hit a bit hard. Yesterday, they both asked for leave and did not come to the company, and they had no plans to come today.
Yes, Linton just made a casual phone call and simply called the two of them over.
The content of Linton's phone call is also very simple. If they don't come back, Linton will come to find them in person. Of course, Linton's visit is the second best, but now a lot of reporters will follow Linton to find their home.
No matter where, Linton can't guarantee it.
The threat had an immediate effect, and the two of them quickly arrived at the company. However, when they found Linton, the first thing they said was that they didn't want to do it anymore.
"It's really not working anymore. I don't want to be an idol anymore. Just let me go back to the countryside to farm." Yumiya Asuka said directly.
"It's possible, but if you don't do it now, the liquidated damages are a bit high," Linton said.
"Liquidated damages?" [] The two of them were stunned for a moment.
"Have you forgotten, the new contract was signed last week?" Linton said, "If you don't do it now, you will naturally have to pay liquidated damages."
"But...that's..." The two of them were obviously a little anxious. Yes, just last week, the two of them had just passed the qualifiers and entered the official competition. Linton also took advantage of the situation and proposed a new plan to the company.
contract.
The original contract between the two of them can be said to be very cheating. They signed with the company for 8 years, and they didn't even get a basic salary. The company also exploited all kinds of income crazily. In Linton's view, it was a contract for prostitution. But they were originally
Newcomers, from the company's point of view, may not necessarily be popular, and a lot of investment has to be made in them, such as training, so they can barely be seen.
However, after entering the official King of Fighters competition, of course people with a little bit of discernment knew that they were going to be popular, so Linton took the opportunity to bring up the matter of a new contract. After all, he was also an agent. The company discussed it briefly,
I think they should be given a new contract. Although they earned more in the original contract, the liquidated damages were not that high. What if another company paid liquidated damages and poached them away?
So this contract is actually a very good contract. The two signed a new contract for five years, and the signing fee alone is 30 million yen. After that, not only will they have a basic salary, but various dividends will also increase a lot. The only requirement from the company is
It is to increase the liquidated damages and save other companies from poaching people. To be honest, this contract is already the company's highest level of treatment, and it is not a trap at all. This is of course what Linton, the agent, fought for.
But if the two of them want to leave now, it will be more troublesome. After all, the two of them were able to sign this contract because they entered the official competition of the King of Fighters, so there are clear provisions in the contract. If the two of them withdraw now
If so, then it is a serious breach of contract. This cannot be solved by simply hiding it. A serious breach of contract will require a large sum of money to be paid. Of course, this is normal. After all, the two people's withdrawal now will cause serious damage to the company.
Very serious.
Linton took out the previous contract and showed it to the two of them, explaining the content of the breach of contract. The nine-digit compensation on it made the two of them take a breath, even though it said the maximum compensation.
, but Linton estimated that he could get a similar price if he went to court.
"But if you don't do it now, I guess all the rebates you earned before may not be enough to compensate you. How is your family situation? Why don't you contact your family to sell the house or something to compensate you? Didn't you just say you wanted to get it back?
Are you farming in the countryside? The land can also be sold," Linton said.
The two looked at each other directly. Their family situation is not bad, they are both middle class, but because their willfulness has burdened the family with so much debt, can they do such a thing? Obviously they can't.
from.
"Why are you yelling so loudly if you don't have money?" Linton slammed the table, startling the two of them, "How old are you? You are all adults. Can you have some legal knowledge..."
"Well, we are not adults yet." Yumiya Asuka weakly raised her hand and said.
"Is that enough to be arrogant? The contract is written in black and white. Are you illiterate?" Linton shouted.
"But...but you said there is nothing wrong with this contract." Yumiya Asuka said weakly again. Yes, this contract was negotiated by Linton as the agent, because it was too complicated. At that time, Yumiya Asuka only needed
He also signed it after listening to Linton's words.
"There is no problem. There is no problem with the company's contract. Now it is you who have the problem. You two are the ones who want to break the contract. Don't you understand?" Linton said, "Just now, the second batch of
All 1.5 million copies of the album have been sold. The company has fulfilled its stipulations in the contract, both in terms of promotion and organization, and has concentrated all its resources on praising you. Now you are breaking the contract."
"I...we..." Originally Yumiya Asuka and the others were frightened when they saw Linton, but when they heard this, they were even more afraid to speak.
"It's not like you are dissatisfied. Why is it so troublesome?" Linton said.
"I...we just want to be idols, we don't want to participate in any fighting competition at all, and...it's still that kind of competition." Yumiya Asuka said.
"I've given you the script, why don't you just treat it as a performance? Is there anything wrong with idols participating in performances? Although this is a fighting competition, you have never been asked to actually fight, right? The fighting part has been abandoned a long time ago.
You have taken care of it, and it’s true that I haven’t asked you to take action, right?” Linton said.
"Yes..." Yumiya Asuka lowered her head, and she was right. They were indeed just standing there, and they did not really throw a punch.
"Then where do all the complaints come from? You've already boarded the bus, and you still want to jump out?" Linton said, "Do you think it will be fine if you quit now? Don't think so simply. Just cooperate with peace of mind."
